Troubleshooting

Plant leaves are scorched or yellowing.

Open the air vent to increase ventilation and reduce heat. If the problem persists, move the cloche to a shadier location or reduce the amount of direct sunlight.

Slugs or snails are still getting to the plants.

Ensure the cloche is properly sealed to the ground. Check for gaps and remove any pests you find inside. Consider adding a slug pellet around the base.

Cloche is unstable in windy conditions.

Secure the cloche to the ground with pegs or stones to prevent it from blowing away.
